This year the club had to limit the membership to the capacity of the club range. The total number of students in the club now exceeds the fifty mark. The rifle team, which is completely new this year, should be given credit for its outstanding improvement during the league season. It started the season with a score of 589 out of a possible 800. and made a steady improve- ment to end the league season with a score of 691. Special mention should be given to Robert Brennen for shooting the highest score on the team 4178 out of 2005, and to Donald Brogen for taking third place among eighty con- testants in the prone position in the individual matches held at Washington University. The only member of the present team to be lost through graduation is James P. Hensen. He has set a record in the kneel position for the other members of the team to match next year by shooting a possible fifty out of fifty in the match with Western Military Academy. He is not only president of the club, but captain of the team. President James I-lensen Robert Brennen Quartermasters Donald Pierce Jack Brandle lFrank Yoder Sponsor Mr. Mitchell Nznely-six

I CADUCEUS SWIMMING TEAM LESTER FIELDS Our swimming team. with only three returning lettermen, made a slow start this year, losing to McKinley 42-24. As the season progressed. however. we began to make a better showing, and when the season closed the results showed Beaumont had had seven victories and three defeats, one of these victories being over McKinley in a return meet. A high light of the season came during a meet with Western Military Academy, held here at Beaumont. Their Sprint Relay team was defeated for the Hrst time in five years by Beaumont's team, composed of Ed Gassen, Dave Garvey, Irish Russell, and Lester Fields. We finished our season by taking third in the City Meet and fifth in the State Meet. We owe much to the splendid coaching and teaching of Mr. Elliot, I-Iis understanding and fighting spirit kept us going at all times, At the close of the season the team elected Eugene lK'AIrish l Russell as the captain for the year just past.
